Smokeout for Safe Access

Cypress Hill SmokeOut has always been about celebrating the connection between music and medicine. In response to recent Federal actions against medical marijuana and the proposed ban in the city of Los Angeles, we're rallying the troops!

Cypress Hill SmokeOut will be joining Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and the Medicine & Music Project for a peaceful protest at Los Angeles City Hall on Thursday, March 1st at 4:20pm. From there we will continue our peaceful protest by marching to the Federal Building.

Beginning from the West steps of City Hall on Spring Street to the Roybal Federal Building on Temple and Alameda. The route will march northbound on Spring Street eastbound on Temple Street, cross Main Street using the appropriate crosswalks, then cross Temple Street northbound on the bridge and then continue eastbound on Temple Street across Los Angeles Street to the Roybal Federal Building.
